Yup. Last year some Harvard students put together a demo where they used Meta's smart glasses and commercial apps to scan people's faces, find their social media profiles, and summarize info about them, like where they live, work, their phone numbers, and names of their relatives in real time.
So basically Watch_Dogs profilers IRL
I remember years ago someone in my class decided to make Russian look alike pictures of everyone in the class and post them as a gag on the doors. I forget what it was called, but several of my classmates were angry that the person had taken their pictures without consent and given them to some weird Russian picture algorithm.
At this point in time, I have no doubt that all kinds of pictures and information regarding me is in the hands of people and companies I don't care for. A lot of it is my own doing and some is out of my hands.
It is hard to avoid when you don't have any control over your own information because people share your pictures and your info without consulting you. All the time and without malice. It is what it is.
Pff it's easy
Cut contact with all friends and family, get plastic surgery, live as a hermit in the mountains
Aka living the dream
My dream. Get a death certificate and become invisible. Live in mountains. Raise chicken. And live a peaceful life

I've given up and assume that my friends and family have already handed over my contact info, pictures, messages, DNA, etc
Honestly giving up is reasonable. We need EVERYONE to respect privacy for this whole thing to work.
You could be the most privacy focused individual and your mom's facebook page would still have your graduation picture with name of the highschool you went and your home address in the back somewhere.
That's also ignoring how all of your actual personal information (full name, address, social security, phone number, email, etc) have already been leaked 16 times this year alone
so what you are saying is that its already over and we lost.
Overwhelming so.

Your "facial data" isn't private information. You give it away every time you go outside.
every time you go outside.
You guys go outside? /j
But your likeness does belong to you. Try making money off of an AI movie featuring Taylor Swift.
Don't paparazzi make plenty of money off of selling unauthorized photos of celebrities? Celebrities can control some uses of their likeness, but not all of them.
True, though for now paparazzi photos generally are “here’s the celebrity in real life doing [x]” whereas AI is “celebrity never did this thing and we applied their image / voice to it like they did.” Really difficult for celebs to shut down tabloid or fan ai-generated garbage, but I think the bigger issue for them right now is film or music studios just using their likeness to keep the profits churning
You're talking about the American concept of having no privacy in public. Not all countries are like that.

Yes I have.
With a model I fine tuned myself and ran locally on my own hardware.
Suck it

It's already done, if you have any photographs of yourself on the internet. No need to fight that battle, accept and push forward.
I suppose I'll accept it and just start pushing forward with setting fires. 🔥
And what if there's no photograph of myself online?
Pics or it didn't happen.
Be happy
Joke's on them, my face is dataset poisoning
Did they not give Twitter their facial data when they uploaded their avatar?
They do, but even if they didn't AI companies are going take them anyway. Bots make up 50% of internet traffic. AI companies have ignored robot.txt entries. Anything publicly available, even if it's behind a password, is accessible since companies like Reddit sell that information.
Bots make up 50% of internet traffic.
I've read a study that claimed ads were 50% of traffic by data volume.
Is anyone actually still using the internet, or is it all ad networks sending crap to bots?

lol
wow that's evil
It's cleverly addressing a valid point. If your face is visible on the internet it can be used in an ai database without your consent. That's just where we're at.
yeah fair enough but every use of the studio Ghibli image generator is one too many
Gosh so many real problems being solved with computers! I always knew they would be useful one day.
ITT: People expecting the most basic of logic from a blue checkmark's brain.
I just saw an ad for a “training course” to “qualify” people to interact with AI as a profession.
